How much does golf cost in Nha Trang? A visitor round at the two courses that publish 2026 rates costs about USD 100–172, and that already includes your caddie and a shared cart. The bigger variables are where you play and how you get there: KN Golf Links is a long drive south, and Vinpearl Golf sits on an island. This guide sets out the published green fees, the extras that catch people out, caddie tips and what a full trip costs.
Quick answer
In 2026, an 18-hole visitor round in Nha Trang costs VND 2,600,000–4,500,000 (about USD 100–172) at Vinpearl Golf and VND 3,325,000–4,082,000 (about USD 127–156) at KN Golf Links. Caddie and shared cart are included. Add VND 300,000–500,000 for the caddie tip, plus transfers or the island crossing.
How much does one round of golf cost in Nha Trang?
Only two of Nha Trang’s four courses publish visitor rates for 2026. We checked both rate sheets on 14 October 2026; for the other two, prices change often enough that we quote them on request.
| Course | 18-hole visitor rate 2026 | Caddie | Cart | Extra to budget | From city centre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KN Golf Links Cam Ranh | VND 3,325,000 weekday · 4,082,000 weekend (≈ USD 127–156) | Included | Shared, included | Transfer: the longest drive | About 55 min, 42 km |
| Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang | VND 3,600,000 / 4,500,000 Nov–Mar · 2,600,000 / 3,250,000 Apr–Oct (≈ USD 100–172) | Included | Shared, included | Island crossing | Boat or cable car to Hon Tre |
| Diamond Bay Golf & Villas | No 2026 public rate; ask us for today’s rate | Included in our bookings | Included in our bookings | Short transfer | About 25 min, 13 km |
| ANARA Binh Tien Golf Club | No 2026 public rate; ask us for today’s rate | Included in our bookings | Included in our bookings | Longest transfer | About 1 hour |
USD figures use 1 USD ≈ VND 26,100 (Vietcombank selling rate, 14 October 2026). Drive times are from Google Maps.
KN Golf Links’ weekday rate sits between Vinpearl’s low-season and peak-season prices, and its weekend rate is below Vinpearl’s peak weekend price. If you want to know whether the course is worth the drive, our full review of KN Golf Links in Cam Ranh covers how it plays.
Are caddie and cart fees included?
Yes, and this is where Nha Trang differs from many price lists you will see online. KN Golf Links states that its rates include a compulsory shared cart, one caddie per player and a basket of range balls before play, with taxes included. Vinpearl Golf’s 2026 rate sheet also lists green fee, caddie fee and shared cart in one price. Some national guides list caddie fees as a separate charge, which can make Nha Trang look more expensive than it is.
What you can pay extra for:
| Extra | KN Golf Links | Vinpearl Golf |
|---|---|---|
| Single-rider cart | VND 600,000 | VND 450,000 |
| Requesting a specific caddie | VND 200,000 | VND 270,000 |
| Club hire (18 holes) | VND 900,000 | VND 950,000 |
| Shoe hire | VND 600,000 | VND 250,000 |
| Umbrella | VND 200,000 | Free |

What hidden costs should you budget for?
The island crossing to Vinpearl Golf
Vinpearl Golf is on Hon Tre island, across the bay from the city. Vinpearl lists three ways over: a speedboat of about 7–10 minutes, a larger ferry, and the cable car of about 12 minutes when it is running. The crossing does not appear on the golf rate sheet, so ask whether it is included before you book. Vinpearl hotel guests pay a lower green fee (VND 2,900,000 on peak weekdays) and are already on the island. Our Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang review explains how the crossing works on the day.
The long drive south to KN Golf Links
KN Golf Links is in Cam Ranh, about 55 minutes and 42 km from the city centre on Google Maps. A return private car for that trip is a real cost, and it takes two hours out of your day. From the resorts on the Cam Ranh peninsula, the drive is about 20 minutes, which is why many golfers who plan to play KN more than once stay down there.
Weekends and the peak season
Weekend and holiday rounds cost 23–25% more at both courses. Vinpearl Golf also charges its peak rates from November to March; KN Golf Links runs weekday and afternoon offers from April to October.
How much should you tip your caddie?
Tips are not included in any green fee and are paid in cash, directly to your caddie, at the end of the round.
| Source | Suggested caddie tip | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Vinpearl caddie guide (August 2026) | About VND 300,000 | Average for a round |
| GoGolfVietnam caddie tipping guide (July 2026) | VND 400,000–500,000 | What we suggest for international golfers |
That is about USD 11–19. Tip a little more for a caddie who reads the greens well or finds a lot of balls, and keep small notes ready, as change is not always available on the course.
Where to stay: the city or Cam Ranh?
Where you stay changes your transfer costs more than your room rate. A hotel in the city centre is about 55 minutes from KN Golf Links but close to the Vinpearl crossing and to restaurants and the beach promenade. A resort on the Cam Ranh peninsula is about 20 minutes from KN Golf Links and close to the airport, but further from the city and from Vinpearl. If your trip is mainly KN and Diamond Bay, Cam Ranh saves time; if you want Vinpearl and city life, stay in town.
What does a full Nha Trang golf trip cost?
A Nha Trang golf trip has five main costs: green fees, caddie tips, transfers, the island crossing if you play Vinpearl, and your hotel. Using the published 2026 rates, one round each at KN Golf Links and Vinpearl Golf comes to about USD 227–328 in green fees. Add roughly USD 11–19 per round in tips, a private car for each mainland course, and your room.
We do not publish a fixed price for our Nha Trang packages, because the total depends heavily on the season, the hotel and the course mix. Our four-day Nha Trang golf package plays KN Golf Links and Diamond Bay, both on the mainland, so there is no boat to arrange, and we quote it for your dates.
Is it cheaper to book yourself or take a package?
| Booking yourself | Golf package | |
|---|---|---|
| Green fees | Published visitor rate | Included |
| Caddie and cart | Included in the green fee | Included |
| Transfers to KN and Diamond Bay | Taxi or private car, booked separately | Included |
| Island crossing to Vinpearl | Check with the club | Arranged |
| Tee times in peak season | You chase them | Booked before you arrive |
| Caddie tips | Cash, paid by you | Cash, paid by you |
Booking yourself can save a little on a single round, especially on a weekday in the low season. Over three or four rounds, the transfers to KN Golf Links, the island crossing and the work of finding tee times usually cancel out the saving. Our Nha Trang golf packages put the courses, transfers and hotel in one price, so you know the total before you fly.
How can you save money on golf in Nha Trang?
- Play from April to October. Vinpearl Golf’s weekday rate drops from VND 3,600,000 to 2,600,000, and KN Golf Links runs low-season offers.
- Play on weekdays. You save 23–25% compared with weekend rates at both courses.
- Group the mainland courses. KN Golf Links and Diamond Bay are both on the mainland, so you can play them without paying for the island crossing.
- Stay near the course you play most. Cam Ranh for KN Golf Links, Hon Tre island for Vinpearl Golf.
- Bring your own clubs. Club hire costs VND 900,000–950,000 per round.

Our verdict
A round of golf in Nha Trang costs about USD 100–172 at the courses that publish their rates, with caddie and cart already included. The real difference in your budget comes from logistics: the drive to KN Golf Links, the crossing to Vinpearl Golf, and whether you travel in the peak season. Play on weekdays, group the mainland courses and stay close to where you play, and Nha Trang is good value for a beach-and-golf trip.

3. Is the boat to Vinpearl Golf included in the green fee?›
The crossing is not on Vinpearl Golf’s 2026 rate sheet, so do not assume it is included. Ask when you book. If you stay at a Vinpearl hotel on the island, there is no daily crossing to pay for.
4. How much should I tip a caddie in Nha Trang?›
Plan on VND 300,000–500,000 (about USD 11–19) per round, paid in cash to your caddie at the end of the round. Tips are not included in any green fee.
5. Is golf cheaper on weekdays in Nha Trang?›
Yes. On the 2026 rate sheets, a weekday round is VND 650,000–900,000 cheaper than a weekend round at Vinpearl Golf and VND 757,000 cheaper at KN Golf Links. Vinpearl Golf is also about 28% cheaper from April to October than in its peak months.

It depends on your hotel, your dates and which courses you play. Green fees alone for one round each at KN Golf Links and Vinpearl Golf come to about USD 227–328 at the 2026 published rates, before tips, transfers and the island crossing. Ask us for a package quote with everything included.
